Business Studies

Here at Landau Forte Academy QEMS we study GCSE and A-level Business Studies and are starting to study BTEC Business and Retail from September 2010.  We also offer AS Law and an additional GCSE in Personal Finance for those motivated Business students who can study on their own! (There are no lessons for this GCSE but we meet one lunchtime a week to discuss our learning.).

Business involves looking at how the Marketing, Human Resources, Finance and Production departments work together to meet a company's aims and objectives.  Coca-Cola once stated that it wanted Coke to be “more popular than water” – what did they do to try and achieve this aim?

We also look at the impact the rest of the world has on a business. We answer questions such as “How has technology affected businesses?”, “Why does Nigeria have the poorest people in the world when it has so much oil to sell?”

Landau Forte Academy QEMS Business department aims to teach students through the news.  We plan lessons using the most up-to-date business information, cases and websites and love to give students problems to solve.  We also spend alot of time preparing students for their examinations and can promise that students will leave our department better able to ask questions and arrive to conclusions about case studies!
